A 23-year-old Raceland woman was killed this morning after the car she was driving veered off the road and struck a utility pole, State Police said.

Kacie Jarreau was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly before 4 a.m. along La. 1, just south of the St. Charles Community in Lafourche Parish, Troop C reported.

Jarreau was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Impala south and failed to negotiate a curve, veering off the road to the right. Her car rolled into a ditch and traveled for a short distance before crossing a driveway, police said. The car went airborne and began to rotate clockwise until it struck a utility pole on the driver’s side.

Jarreau was wearing her seat belt, police said. Alcohol use is not suspected, but routine toxicology tests are pending.
